Artist's Comments
Koi is a symbol of strenght and perseverance. Though it is not an impressive animal, thanks to its efforts, it can become a Dragon – powerful, beautiful and almighty.
Although Koi is traditionally associated with men, his virtues are also very important for women. Especially when they need strenght for two…
Shining lantern is a light of a new Life.
Kohaku Koi are white and red – which can symbolise the balance between soul and body, balance important for the Mother and desired for the Child.
The pattern on the kimono shows the perseverence in the face of changes – symbolised by Koi swimming in the ever-flowing waters, fighting currents and waves. And the Koi swimming off the kimono to gather around the lantern, are there to give their blessing to the child, to bless it with their virtues.
Wisteria in the back is a symbol of affection and welcome.
So – another Contest inspired me to do something new.
runs the Koi Contest which gave me possibility to make a japanese-styled piece, which I didn’t do for too long now. And it gave me so much pleasure! I didn’t think that my love towards watercolours could grow more profound… But it actually did – and continues to grow!

Background inspired by the wonderful art of Watanabe Seitei - a great japanese artist who learned the watercolour technique in Paris…
General inspiration was my Wife, who was magically peaceful and harmonious during her pregnancy – I think I managed to capture this warm peace of a Waiting Woman.
